Cigarette Lighter Spy Cam.

This cigarette lighter is the ultimate decoy for a spy item. Looks exactly like your standard lighter but has a built in camera and microphone. The lighter measures at L81 x W23 x D10mm so looks exactly the same as a standard lighter, but please be aware it does not work like a normal lighter.

The camera can begin recording when activated by sound so you can use it as a dictaphone to record meetings and lectures etc. The lighter records video at 720 x 480 for up to two hours and you can capture up to ten hours of footage on a 32GB micro SD card (multiple charges). The camera does not include a micro SD card but will support up to 32GB.

You can use the lighter as a card reader so simply put in your micro SD card and it will display on your PC like a standard removable disk.
